Shinnston, West Virginia Hospice Collaboration

Hospice and hospice caregivers in Shinnston, West Virginia work closely in collaboration with the compassionate
staff at Dorsey Funeral Home and Cremation in order to provide a continuum of care bridging the gap between the
time of death and bereavement. For this reason Dorsey Funeral Home and Cremation has become an integral part of hospice
care. The Remembrance Planner professionals at Dorsey Funeral Home and Cremation appreciate the trust that families and
hospice caregivers place in them and they constantly strive to be deserving of that trust. At no time will
family members be without support. The strong attachments and trust developed in one supportive environment
(hospice) are shared and transferred to another (the funeral home) as the family moves through the process
of dying, death and bereavement.

With greater understanding of each other’s care, areas of expertise and resources, the hospice care team and
funeral home collaboration allows them both to plan a course which makes for a more natural transition of care at
the time of death and in caring for the survivors in the months following the death.

When you consider the philosophy of hospice and funeral service, it is clear why the continuum of care provided by
the professional staff of Dorsey Funeral Home and Cremation is a "natural extension" of hospice care in Shinnston, West Virginia.
